Designing for Enlightenment

The core idea behind the EMEA User Conference 2024 design was "enlightenment through technology."

The visual metaphor?
A portal — symbolizing the journey every Apptio user takes toward mastering technology investments. Abstract spheres float within a gradient-lit space, suggesting ideas, innovation, and momentum.
This theme was consistent across EMEA, APAC, and India events — creating a unified global narrative.

The Color Language

Tech, Energy & Possibility
The palette strikes a balance between corporate sophistication and energetic transformation.
- Deep purples signify expertise and authority

- Vibrant oranges capture excitement and creativity

- Electric blues convey trust and progress

- Gradients bridge these emotions — reflecting the journey from uncertainty to clarity

Each color was carefully chosen to speak to the duality of stability and innovation — a reflection of Apptio’s brand promise.

How far in advance do I need to book event design and production services?

For large-scale projects like event booths, full campaigns, and high-resolution print deliverables (like Hoardings), I recommend reaching out 4 to 8 weeks in advance. This ensures adequate time for strategy, design iterations, and crucial lead time for print production and vendor coordination.

I'm not sure exactly what I need. Can you help me define the scope of my project?

Absolutely. Every project begins with a Discovery Call where we define your goals, target audience, and specific needs. I specialize in offering strategic guidance to help define the most effective scope, whether it's a full brand strategy, an event design package, or targeted motion graphics.

What is the typical process for designing a large-scale event booth and marketing campaign?

My process follows four main phases: Discovery & Strategy (defining goals and audience), Conceptual Design (booth layouts, key visuals, color palette), Execution & Refinement (finalizing all digital and print assets), and finally, Handoff & Production Support (delivering print-ready files and supporting vendor coordination).

Can you manage a full rebrand, or do you only design specific assets?

I am fully equipped to handle comprehensive rebrands, from defining the Brand Identity, Mission, and Core Values to delivering a complete Branding Package (logo, guidelines, typography, and color palettes). I also specialize in refreshing or creating individual assets as needed.

Do you offer voiceover and scriptwriting services for Explainer Videos/Motion Content?

Yes. While my core focus is the visual design, animation, and editing, I offer scriptwriting support and coordinate voiceover casting and recording to deliver a complete, professional, and impactful final video package.

What are your standard payment terms for a new project?

My standard payment term is 100% upon final delivery and client approval of all assets. This ensures you are fully satisfied with the finished product before any payment is required.
